Did you make this instructable?

I used to be a handyman, but now I'm on vacation from that and I drive a big yellow school bus. I still drive my handyman truck though, a big thirsty red Ford F-350 with big toolboxes and a 1/4 thick steel sheet of metal for the bed. I call him Frank. I'm looking for something smaller and when the weather gets better I'm hoping to ride my bicycle to work.

Her name is Lucy :) Funny how we all name them. As for your situation, may I make a suggestion? Start looking for a bug now. You want one with little or no rust. It doesn't matter if it runs or has an interior, just check for rust, and when your done checking - check AGAIN! You can get some REALLY good deals on projects that other people started and have given up on! You could restore it as a daily driver with minimal tools, space and dollars. In a couple of years you'll have a really nice car, no car payments, AND the best part is you'll know how everything works on your car - no mechanic bills, EVER! A lot of folks seem to like older bugs, but I like the '68 and later models because they are cheaper, handle better, and have more power.
